To help prepare “science savvy” citizens, ExxonMobil supports a wide range of reeducation programs geared to stir public doubt in scientific consensus while putting a friendly face on the harsh and precarious business of global resource exploitation.

At a point when experts predict that global energy demand will be 50%
higher by the year 2030, the number of young people pursuing careers in
science is failing to keep pace with the need for industry friendly scientists. It's a trend we
must reverse. And the way to do it is through good solid public relations.

ExxonMobil has funded at least 40 organizations that either have sought to undermine mainstream scientific findings on global warming or have affiliated with a small group of "skeptics" who continue to do so.

It is a sad state of affairs, but at ExxonMobil, we know that there are enemies of profit, just as there are enemies of freedom. The recognition of this fact is at the heart of our public relations programs worldwide. We are all better served by understanding the impacts of environmentalist and conservationist agendas on the future of the world's pristine business environments. Such understanding enhances our appreciation of predatory business and its natural role in the food chain of the global capitalist ecosystem. Moreover, effective public relations can attune us to our human nature and remind us of Man's ultimate dominion over the earth. This lesson is even more urgently needed in light of recent natural disasters planet wide accompanied by "global warming" paranoia. ExxonMobil's ability to employ the best of the best of the public relations industry ensures that "information" about science, technology and uncertainty reaches out to the hearts and minds of freedom loving people everywhere.

At ExxonMobil we realize that packaging is power, and so we praise those hardworking folks in public relations. It is their brainpower, their ingenuity and their breakthroughs that define who we are in the public eye. We thank you. But ExxonMobil also realizes that public relations without the sound backing of industry friendly science often falls on deaf ears. That is why we are actively engaged in creating a community of business minded scientists who are sympathetic to the demands of the market.

The White House has thanked ExxonMobil for its "active involvement" in crafting U.S. global warming policy, noting that the White House considers ExxonMobil "among the companies most actively and prominently opposed to binding approaches [like Kyoto] to cut greenhouse gas emissions."
